PCOS Self-Assessment Quiz
Likely to Have PCOS
If your answers mostly fell into this category, you may have several symptoms that are strongly associated with Polycystic Ovary Syndrome (PCOS). These could include irregular menstrual cycles, excessive hair growth, significant weight changes, severe acne, and other related issues. It's important to note that while this self-assessment can give you an indication, only a healthcare professional can provide an accurate diagnosis through medical evaluation and testing. Scheduling an appointment with a doctor to discuss your symptoms would be a crucial next step.
Somewhat Likely to Have PCOS
If you have a majority of B’s, you may be experiencing some symptoms that suggest PCOS but perhaps not as severely or consistently as in the "Likely" category. Symptoms like moderate weight gain, occasional irregular periods, and some hair growth or skin issues might be present. These indicators warrant attention and could justify further investigation by a healthcare provider to rule out or confirm PCOS and discuss potential management strategies.
Somewhat Unlikely to Have PCOS
With mostly C’s, your symptoms are less indicative of PCOS. You may have some mild symptoms that occasionally overlap with those of PCOS, such as slight weight fluctuations or occasional acne, but these are not pronounced enough to strongly suggest PCOS. It’s still a good idea to monitor your health and discuss any concerns with a healthcare provider, especially if your symptoms change or worsen over time.
Unlikely to Have PCOS
If your responses are primarily in this category, it's unlikely that you have PCOS based on this self-assessment. You appear to experience regular menstrual cycles, stable weight, minimal skin or hair issues, and overall good health. However, maintaining regular health check-ups with your doctor is always a good practice to ensure ongoing health and well-being. If any concerning symptoms arise in the future, seek medical advice for further evaluation.
